Today I wrap up the flamenco cuplé series with a bonus post, one more song, and a few more videos:
Un Compromiso
Alfredo García Segura y Gregorio García Segura
Sin firmar un documento,
ni mediar un previo aviso,
sin hablarnos, ni mirarnos
ha nacío un compromiso.
Tientos
Yo no tenía puertecita en que llamar
yo no tenía ná más que la tuya
y me la encuentro claveteá
In honor of more bulerías...
I've heard this sung as a bulerías and a soleá por bulerías. Here is a sample from Fernanda and Bernarda de Utrera and another from Miguel Poveda.
You've heard me say it before, translating is a challenge. Let me know if you have any thoughts in the comments below.
